Pergola

Exaltatum · 2018

Fresh · Floral · Green

Exaltatum Pergola is a fresh, green and floral unisex fragrance that pairs garden greenery with a warm, resinous undertone. It opens with petitgrain, bergamot, ginger and grass, a cool, sharp green. In the heart, lily of the valley, hyacinth and narcissus bring a floral texture while galbanum keeps the green note going. The base of vetiver, patchouli and tree moss gives it an earthy, fougère-like footing, with beeswax and styrax adding a soft resinous touch. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though on few votes. It sits between masculine and feminine, and suits anyone who likes green, fresh scents. Perfumes with a close profile include YS Uzac Métaboles - Expressioniste and Nebiru Parfvms Silver Pine.
